You Know It's Cold When...

My mother, the thermostat Nazi, leaves the heat on.

My Heart Just Wasn't In The Music Today

I think it was because I was a wee bit tired. But choir was so irritating today. School choir, that is. Allow me to give you a list of the repetoire for Friday evening...*sigh* It's from a performance booklet of music called "This December Season". I don't know why we couldn't sing normal Christmas carols. Probably because we'd get sued. So here is the list of politically correct songs you will hear the Crescent Heights High School Choir singing on Friday evening.
1. Jingle Bell Sleigh Ride-a mix between Jingle Bells and Over the River. I hate it. I want to kill it. It's annoying and retarded and I hate it more than I hate eggplants.
2. In December-not bad...it talks about candles. Every second song does. You'll notice the theme. Anyway, it's kinda slower. Has some cool harmonies. None of this music is very deep. Meh.
3. Born This Christmas Day-Finally, a good Christmas carol! It's in French (well, part of it) and it's actually really good and I like it a bunch.
4. Candle In The Night-A Hanukah song. It's okay. Again with the candles. It's an okay song, I just get the feeling the "composers" threw it in there so as to avoid some pretty angry Rabbis.
5. On The Roof-I like this one solely because I didn't have to learn many lyrics. Mostly just Ooooh yeah yeah's. It's kinda pop-ish. It's not great, but it's not terrible either.
6. Candle In Your Heart-Candles. Christmas-ey feelings. Right, got it. Thanks. I don't mind the melody...I just think the lyrics are not exactly stellar.
And then in the second half the Chamber Choir, of which I am a part, is singing Angels In Heaven. It's an a capella piece (a capella means no background music. Just singing) and it. Is. Awesome. I wish it wasn't so short. But it is so FUCKING GOOD! I'm so happy I get to sing it. If the entire concert sucks and everyone messes up, but we sing that one song half decently, well, I'll be grinning 'til Christmas.
And today, I was wearing clothes from the Kevin Collection. As my dad pointed out, I'm a cross dresser. Whatever. And Dad found my jewelry, so I am relieved!

Musical Quote of the Day

"What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Blows away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt"

-Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash. Whichever you prefer Title: Hurt

Brrrrr

'Tis chilly. I don't deny it.
My cold is probably going to start clearing up now. Hopefully.
Oh my God! Something absolutely crazy happened on the way home from work! Mom picked me up (I left work early due to the sick) and we were driving past where we used to live in Martindale. We were crossing the street I used to cross to catch the school bus when my mom went "aaah!" and slammed on the brakes. I jumped and looked out the front window. Trotting across the road was a long haired orange tabby cat. I almost burst into tears right there in the car. My long haired orange tabby cat, Amber, my dearest friend, who followed me everywhere, died on that exact bit of road. He was hit by a car, and I've always blamed myself, because he was coming home from waiting with me at the bus stop when it happened. Maybe it was his ghost? I dunno. Still, it definitely tugged on the ol' heart strings.
Also, I can't find my jewelry...it's here somewhere.

Musical Quote of the Day

"I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
'Cause it's making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here

Where I can run
Just as fast as I can
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear
You're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill"

-Pink Title: Just Like A Pill
I didn't pick this song for any particular reason...I don't feel the way she does at all. I just seriously like this song, and I don't quite know why. Maybe it's the getting out of here part. I like the sound of that.

Soft N' Fluffy Snowflakes

My favourite...please snow some more! It was so beautiful on Saturday night...the way the wind rushed through my hair...the way the snow danced...the way I totally kicked Kevin's ass in the first installation of the mighty Snow War. Kat: 1 Kevin: 0.
Well, I have a shitty cold. Hoo-fucking-ray. But I had an enjoyable weekend, although I was and still am dead tired. But I'll turn in early tonight. Yay. Bed. Sleep. Zzzz.
Oh my God! I totally just realized something! I made it! We made it! Oh, there is so much joy now. And now I can relax. Let the notion wash over me and I can just smile until dawn.
Choir was irritating tonight...although singing some hymns can't hurt...I mean, it has to cancel out some of the bad things I do, right? Right? Well, that's what I'm counting on, anyway. Except churchy people scare me ever so slightly. And by that, I mean quite a lot. Oh well. And Georganne pissed me off. I swear, I wanted to punch her in the mouth.
Anyway, I'm feeling a bit delierious with fever right now. Did I spell that right? No, probably not. But y'all are just gonna have to deal with it. That's right. Y'all. Walk the Line was a good movie, guys.

Musical Quote of the Day

"'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright
Alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be
Yeah
Where I wanna be"

-Lifehouse Title: Breathing
